So, the search for the perfect gym is complete. Okay, maybe not perfect gym but good. My perfect gym would include a hot tub and cute guys with no shirts giving out free massages.. but I digress.
My gym dilemma really came down to the choice between the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre and the Anytime Fitness gym at Southgate Mall. (I'd link the Aquatic Centre but there is no proper website for it that I can find for it)
The benefits to the Aquatic Centre is that it's a bit closer to my house and that for my membership fee I get access to the pool facility as well. However, it does tend to get a ton of teenagers in it after school let's out.
The benefits of the Anytime Fitness gym are that it's 24 hour, so I can go whenever is convenient for me, there is a huge range of brand new machines and free weights there, they have a squat rack and a smith machine, AND that it's not within walking distance to the high school :)
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against teens working out at the gym, I think it's awesome that they're exercising; I just have issues with groups of them taking over parts of a busy gym and standing around and talking while they leisurely sorta work out.
So, for me, the clear winner is the Anytime Fitness facility. The fact that it's a properly stocked gym makes it far more appealing to me. The Aquatic Centre, when I had my previous membership, was really frustrating due to it's lack of equipment. They also offer a free 7 day trial membership, which is pretty nice.
So, two workouts into it so far and I already just about can't dress myself in the mornings, I can hardly wait until I work out hard!
